Traf�c�ngineering Division
CITY Q� ORANGE
Traf�c Engineering stiaff�resented a Iist af intersectian that are being suggested for

Commissianers will submit any suggested intersections tha� ar� nofi on the Iist to staf�

and when compteted the intersections will be given a"ranking" on a "priority list" for
the improvements when funds are available.
B. Request to consider changes to the ST�F control war�ants for tocai streets.
Tra�c Engineering Division �
CITY OF ORANGE
Traf�ic Engineering staf� presented the city's current warrant criteria for STOP
controls. Staf�' wants to modify our criteria for local streets as outlined in your .
packets. Commission to submit any suggestions to sta.f�as soon as possible. This
will be agendized for the March 12, 1997, CTC meeting for further consideratior�. I
don't believe that this is unreasonable over the next month I'm going to try and find
out what our neighboring jurisdictions have in regards to their warrants and see how
they compare to our warrants. We know the County uses the State's warrants
regardless of what type of intersection it is. We want to tighten up our warrants but
not make it impossible for a local street to make warrants because if there is a need
then we have to address it.

V. 4RAL PRESENTATION
A. The City Traffic Engineer advised the �TC that the six-month review of the
turn restrictions at Tustin-Briardale wi11 be agendized for their review at the
March 12, 1996, CTC meeting. Notifications will be sent to both the residential
neighborhood and th�commercial tenants at the strip centers at this intersection. This
item will be presented ta the City Council after your review for two reasons; so the
Council will have the benefit of your review and input; and so that the issues are
brought up in a more focused manner as the CTC is more focused on traffic issues
than the City Cauncil. _
B. The Gity Tra�ic Engineer discussed praposed modifications to the Tustin Sta 1'os�
Office. We hav� revised plans developed and have estimated the improvements will�
cost an additional $27,000., he �urther advised the CTC that he will be meeting with
Posta� officials ne�t week to discuss possible funding cantributions. Basically the
middle driveway is going to become a `One-Way' OUT only and it's going to be
reduced in width to pravid�additiQnal parking space. The northerly driveway and the
southerly dr�vevc�ay will become entrance and exit points. The parking is gaing to,go
back ta 90° stal�s sa you can park fram either di�ection. The Past 0►�ice may allovv
us 6-7 parking sp�aces on the southerly side of the building, they cannot open the north
. side because they cla�m that is the main�ccess for their delivery trucks. There will be
raised medians an Tustin north and south of the Post�f�ice. I€we do aIl this work, in
. totat, we may be able ta pick up an additional 12 parking spaces. No matter what�v�
do there is gain�ta be a problem beca�use there physicatly is nat enough roam at th�s
location to provide enough on-site parking.
